Alicia Shipwreck Details
Open-water certified SCUBA divers will enjoy diving the 345-foot, Scottish-built (1883) _Alicia_, which ran into Long Reef and sunk on Ajax Reef in 1905. The ship was en route from England to Havana, Cuba and carried more than $1 million in cargo. Salvagers recovered most of the cargo, and the ship's iron was salvaged for scrap, but plenty remains for divers to explore among the tropical fish and coral that now make the wreck home 20 to 30 feet underwater. The wreck is part of the Biscayne National Park Maritime Heritage Trail.
